know, this is also personal. My family and I are approaching a full week as Waldo Canyon Fire evacuees.

Did you know that President Obama has been incommunicado with Colorados governor for more than two weeks as the nations worst wildfires rage across the state? Maybe he thought we were all doing fine.

After an embarrassing Beltway press briefing revelation about our out-of-touch White House, the administration finally decided to divert the campaigner in chief from his nationwide fundraising frenzy for a quick look-see at our devastated city on Friday. Its leadership from behind you can count on.

While he made no public statements prior to the announcement of his visit, an irritated Carney told reporters on Wednesday that Obama was being updated regularly on the wildfires in Colorado and across the West. He then rushed out a face-saving press release heralding the presidents hasty phone call that afternoon to Hickenlooper and Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach, in which he expressed his concern about the extent of damage to homes in the Colorado Springs area, and informed both the governor and the mayor that he plans to travel to the area

As Obama sightsees overhead in this key swing state and surrounds himself with first responders for campaign-ready photo-ops, his supporters on the ground are busy spewing excuses, attacks and death wishes on their political opponents. I know. Ive received countless numbers of them hoping that firefighters let my mansion burn down and gloating that God or karma is punishing Colorados conservative population. Liberals took to Twitter to bash local GOP officials and me as fire retardants who should be dropped over the blaze. And jokes about Colorado social conservatives like this proliferated: If this Colorado fire takes out the Focus on the Family campus, then God really exists.
